To you.....

Happy Thanksgiving!!

from the Turkey chick

(fyi i know I have a small obsession with ducks, but most of them, including this on are given to me:o)

So I don't know where you are or who you are celebrating your Turkey day with,

But be thankful...

for something.

I have so much to be thankful for, Thank the Lord.

So, what are you thankful for?

My Christmas Tree....

Above, is a picture of my Christmas tree, that I thought I'd share....

since neither my roomie or I will be here for Christmas, we thought we would still be festive and decorate the hibiscus plant.
Kinda ghetto, yeah.

But let's be honest....I am the real thing :o)

Tonight...

I am going to see COLD PLAY

I am so stinking excited.

More to come....

My Weekend

So this weekend some friends and I went up to Denver for an Ingrid Michaelson concert.

And all I have to say is she is my favorite!! I wish I could just sit on a bench with her and hold her hand.
I have a small hetero crush on her. She is just such a fun person. I mean, I know whatever she is famous, but still I think she is genuinely a nice person. I feel like a middle school girl who would be at a boy band concert, cause I just can't help but to scream :o) yeah I maybe a bit lamo, but honestly you could've asked anyone there we all love her. Her music is just so wonderful and fun to sing along with. So there now you know about my secret obsession :o)

We got there not as soon as we would've liked and it was a small venue, so we were up in the balcony and we were like crap this kinda sucks. So we were standing next to the sound people and all of a sudden this big kinda semi scary guy comes up to me and says hey if you meet me over on the other side I can totally put you in our VIP section. I was like umm yes I will be there in a second.

So we boot scooted our booties over to the other side and he let us in under the rope and we totally got to sit in the VIP section that was awesome! That made the concert even more enjoyable.

On Saturday night my friend Rachel and I tried out the singles ministry at my church...

ha ha ha, was all I have to say.

I mean we walk in and you already could have cut the awkwardness with a knife.

I mean bless these people's hearts, but honestly how many socially awkward people could we gather into one room :o)

I mean for once in my life, the men out numbered the women in the room. This was odd for me. There were some sincerely neat people, but for the most part this ministry totally fit the "singles" ministry stereotype.

There was one odd man who kept on starring at me, I was trying not to look from the corner of my eye. But you can only do so much when they won't stop starring at you.

So needless to say I know I am single, but gosh I think I am cute and have a fun personality. Is it too much to ask that I find someone who is similar to that who loves Jesus?

Is that too much to ask?

Yeah katie won't be going back there :o)

Hope your weekend was as filled with as much fun and awkwardness as mine was:o)

Lonely

Tonight i sit.

~~~~~~

people in

pairs;

triplets;

together: creating

me: alone

waiting;

or procrastinating

it’s hard to tell

when

you’re

lost

somewhere

between

the

wilderness

and the city

is where i rest

yet unrest

has uprooted

this loneliness

this

strong

desire

to know

and be known

to love

and be loved

-This poem was written by someone else, but reflects my soul.

Penny....

My dog needed a hair cut so I thought to myself I can buy some clippers and do that myself....that was a bad thought to have :o)

So I bought myself some clippers. Penny had a hair cut in the bath tub with the assistance of rachel and Penny shook the whole time.

My sister this weekend gave a quite ironic and funny cartoon to represent penny, the idea was from Finding nemo when the sharks are having their opening of their version of an AA meeting and one fish raises his hand and under this fin is a shaking/scared little fish with his eyes bulging out of its head. This picture kept on popping into my head :o)

She then got a bath.

So in conclusion penny got a hair cut by katie, the next time by a professional and those clippers are getting returned.

:o) joy.

I'm a big girl now???

So I got on a plane yesterday and came to the twin cities in good ole MN.

As I was looking out the window watching my rockies disappear I thought to myself why am I leaving here?

So I can become a forensic interviewer, duh?

I can say that I have never gotten off a plane where someone was not there to greet me or give me a ride to wherever I was going. This was a whole new experience for little ole me.

So I get off the plane, get my luggage and muster up all the boldness I can find within my 5'4" body of mine and head down the escalator to taxis. I get down only to have to go back up another escalator and thought this is stupid, why did I come down just to go back up.

So I walk out the door and decide who looks nicer and am about to go there where a nice woman asked, "ma'am, do you need a taxi?"...... me, "yes" her, "lane #3"

So I walk over the nice man puts my luggage in the trunk and I tell him I need to go here and we go. That's it. We are off and it was SO easy! Now if you know me, you know I am not a big fan of driving. I would much rather be the passenger where I can look at my surroundings. I recently went to Ouray with friends and they were teasing me because all I kept saying was, "that is so pretty, or this is gorgeous."

True. I love being outside and just looking around, I have always been that way. So it was much to my enjoyment that I could just sit in the back, look out the window, breeze in my face and take in my new surroundings.

I felt like Miss Daisy :o)

So I get settled in (in a sweet hotel to boot, by the way) and thought I would take a walk cause I like exploring and I need to feed my belly. Let me first describe my hotel area. I am in a very nice hotel but it seems to be in an odd spot. This area of town seems run down and the city is attempting gentrification, i think? Across the parking lot is a warehouse which seems to be remodeled into condos maybe, and then there is a global market in the first floor.

I walk down one street, turn and the street gets darker and darker and shadier and shadier and I think hmmm katie, maybe tonight is not the best night to venture out by yourself....

So katie turns around, but still no food. The only place that was open, where I felt safe was KFC across the street from my hotel. So KFC it was. I filled my belly with good ole Kernel Sanders' biscuits.

However this was an interesting experience for me because I felt like the minority here, it switches the tables up and that is always good. Scary but good.

More to come about my food dining experience of tonight.
